ONLY A ROSE.

Only rose now faded and dead
Its bright leaves are withered, its fragrance has
fled,
Only rose yet to me it doth tell
OF dream of the past, ere sorrows blight fell
On the friendship of one that TO me was SO
dear
Though long months have passed 1 can fancy
him near.
Only rose, yet he gave it to me,
AS an emblem of friendship it ever will be
A cherished reminder of those sweet summer
days
When all nature was bright with the suns
gilded rays:
But too soon, ah too soon, did the time pass
away,
And the rose that he gave me lies withered to-
day.
Only rose, now faded and pressed,
Yet handle it gently with loving caress;
Tho its bloom has departed its bright leaves
turned gray,
Yet to me it is fairer than the flowers of May;
For the dear friend that gave it sleeps in death s
calm repose.
And treasure his gift, though It's only rose.

AN 1NMEysE SENSATION.

All who were not in the secret believed
that this was the customary garb of the
Mexican beau, and he no doubt gratefully
surmised that American hospitality could go
no farther than thus to supply him with
festive raiment for the races.
Ell CtroRiStd, a paper published IN the
neighboring State of Morelas, says that 1t
is customary among the Indians OF the
Jonacatepee district TO swap wives,
exactly as Yankee school-boys exchange
knives and other truck. Occasionally these
trades are permanent, but generally they
are for a specified length of time, at the ex-
piration of which they trade back with
the greatest good feeling, the event being
celebrated in each family by feast at which
pulque flows freely. When wife is I'M
attractive and cannot be traded, sometimes
a dog cat or pig is added as boot TO
make the barter fair, In the district OF
Tenango, at Tescaliacae, the still more
novel custom exists of trading of mothers
in-law.

The customs officers here have made seiz-
ure of an unique article. 1t is a hustle

as to fit snugly. At either end it is very
thin, but is expanded so SIS to be about an

being hollow inside. holds exactly one
gallon. When discovered by the lady in
spectors at Tampa, the owner had it on in
its proper place, and it answered admirably
for the purpose for which such things are
used, but, unfortunately for the owner, it
was found - contain gallon of fine Cuba
rum which she was evidently endeavoring
10 smuggle. For some time it has been
suspected that the lady was engaged in
some peculiar business which made neces-
sary frequent trips to and from Cuba After
consultation it was decided to make the
proper inquiry. When first questioned the
lady exhibited much indignation that she
should be even suspected, and finally began
to weep; however, the lady who was APP
pointed to make the inspection was kind,
but firm, and the result was the discovery
OF the mysterious hustle. filled with rum.

very brilliant number, with a fine steel-en-
craving, o Guard" that, we predict, will
be popular with everybody. There is also a
beautiful double-sized colored fashion-plate;
then a superb colored pattern for a screen, a
Japanese design of a stork, ETC., etc.; and, af-
ter that, some fifty other engravings. Lucy
H.. Hooper furnishes an illustrated story
"St. Valentines Eve, which is %charmingly
told, with just the least touch of humor.-
"The Dukes Heir" is continued, and grows
intensely interesting. Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
Frank Lee Benedict, and others also contrib
ute. We must not forget a powerful story
by Miss M'Cleliand, a new contributor, the
author of that remarkable novel, "Oblivion."
Peterson seems to be always on the look
out for the new writer's mark. Hence, we are
not surprised at its large circulation. The
wonder is that it is not even larger. Every
family of refinement, We should think, would
have this magazine on its table. The price,
real merit considered, is astonish1y low-only

1t has heretofore been a mystery to us
why strangers are generally charged SO
ex~travagantly by hotels in large cities.
Happening a short time since at the
GAIT HOUSE, corner of Sixth and
Main Streets, CINCINNATI, OHIO,
managed by W. E. Marsh, Jr., son of
the proprietor of the Gait House fifty
years ago, the mystery was solved. The
accommodations at the GAIT HOUSE
are equal in every respect to the best
TWO DOLLAR per day kotel, and yet
the charges are only ONE DOLLAR
AND FIFTY CENTS per day for meals
and room single meals THIRTY-FIVE
CENTS. The GAIT is the headquarters
for the most complete meals, which to-
gether with free use of parlor, office,
check-room, &c., constitute the greatest
bargain obtainable in the city. The So
luton is easy when the facts are known.
The Gait is run exclusively in the inter
est of strangers, the same rate being
charged per day, at all times, to every
one. Whatever will produce a reasona-
Bile rent for the property is the extent Of
its charges, thug doing away with the
usual lessee's profits. Its management
is constantly under the immediate and
personal control of the owner, w. E.

Death of wellaKnown Eaton,


Ian.
A Muncie Ind, dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer Of Saturday morning last, contains
the following which will interest many. old
citizens of Eaton:
"a telegram was received in this city this
afternoon from Las Vegas, New Mexico, an
nouncing the death Of Mr.: John Marsh, Cash
Ter of the Citizens National Bank, of this
city. Mr.. Marsh left over a month ago, with
his wife, for a pleasure trip in California, and
at that time was in the best of health. As
his friends have heard nothing of his illness,
it is supposed that he was taken suddenly
sick while on his way home, dying at Las We
| gas. Mr.. Marsh was one of the most promi-
nent men of this town, and well known in
banking circles in Indiana and Ohio. Over
forty years ago he embarked in the banking
business in Preble County, Ohio. He found
ed and for several years was President OF the
Cambridge City lind. NationalB Bank: Came
to Muncie, and founded the Muncie National
Bank, of which he was President. Later, he
assisted in organizing the Citizens National
Bank. of this city, of which he has been Cash
ier."
Mr.. Marsh was long a prominent and active
business citizen of our town, and before his
failure in hardware merchandising under
the firm name of Marsh & Lockwood, contrib
uted largely to the interests and advance
ment of Eaton property. 1t was through his
pushing enterprise that the first brick bust
ness block on Main Street, or in Eaton, eek
| cept the VanAusdal corner) was erected. H
| also had built for his own convenience the
two story brick dwelling east of the business
block, but in his anxiety to press forward the
interests of his town he overreached himself
and pecuniary disaster overlook him before
he had the pleasure of occupying his new
home. After he left Eaton he was very sue
cessful in all his business undertakings, and
died possessed of considerable property.

"sCamille,' as played by Miss Irene Taylor
